xxx When it says God is not the author of confusion, and confusion comes from the carnal mind and carnal logic it is obvious that confusion is outside the Word of God. When one doesnt understand the verses that is blindness. The carnal mind cant discern the difference. And the carnal mind will mistake blindness for confusion. But understand this no one else can put that confusion in your mind, so it doesnt do any good to blame someone else for your own confusion.
